Bug#802624: vtk6: Fails to build with GDAL 2.0

Version: 6.2.0+dfsg1-4
Severity: important
Tags: patch upstream
User: debian-gis at lists.debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

vtk6 (6.2.0+dfsg1-4) FTBFS due to missing compatibility with
GDAL/OGR 2.0:

 error: 'Open' is not a member of 'OGRSFDriverRegistrar'

GDAL 2.0 support in discussed upstream in #15692:

 http://www.vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=15692

That issue links to a patch from ArchLinux for GDAL 2.0 support:

 https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/gdal2.patch?h=packages/vtk

The attached debdiff includes the changes from ArchLinux patch further
improved to support both GDAL 1.x and 2.x, please consider including
these changes in the next vtk6 upload.

Can you also forward the improved patch to the vtk bugtracker for which
I don't have an account?

The severity of this issue will be increased to serious when the GDAL
2.0 transition starts.

There are no GDAL 2.0.1 packages available in experimental yet, because
the transition to GDAL 1.11.3 (#802222) needs to start first. This issue
was triaged using locally built GDAL 2.0.1 packages from the
experimental-2.0 branch in git:

Kind Regards,

Bas
